| 1381697 | 2014-08-16 07:46:00 | Have you looked speedy to see if windows 7 is legit? | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1381698 | 2014-08-16 07:47:00 | Try to if I can get in again lol. Altho it did check for updates now then installed them? I'll get that MS file to check if it's legit or not | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381699 | 2014-08-16 07:48:00 | I was thinking that maybe the software would run without crashing the PC this time & come up with a 'connect to...?' request? It's probably the best we can do at present without the projector available? |

| 1381700 | 2014-08-16 07:51:00 | What software are you using to connect to the projector? So you tried it again and it didnt crash, but it didnt connect either? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381701 | 2014-08-16 08:12:00 | Right got rid of the system admin message under change settings (under windowsupdate). You couldn't change it. It was ghosted You have to open regedit then go here, so you can select whatever HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\AU (Make sure you delete them under the AU key). If there's anything else here (besides a default key) delete it / them |

| 1381702 | 2014-08-16 08:49:00 | Just updated the wireless drivers on it (Intel centrino were from 2010 - the ones from the Intel site are from Jan, this year) since I've read (not so long ago), that some versions of this driver were/are a bit dodgy / buggy. So, we'll see if they connect to the projector wirelessly (sounds like its got wifi on it somewhere), whether it crashes again. Or works | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381703 | 2014-08-16 09:04:00 | Oh one more thing Straka. I think I saw version 6 of Java in programs and features. If you use it you should uninstall that version. And install the latest version (java.com) Old versions have vulnerabilities |

| 1381704 | 2014-08-19 11:17:00 | Wonder if this is relevant On August 2, Microsoft began pushing out its monthly bundle of Windows security patches and feature updates via Windows Update. By August 5, hundreds of users’ PCs were failing to boot after being powered off; the infamous Blue Screen of Death appeared. Some tech-savvy users traced the problem to a handful of patches in the August 2 release. On August 15, Microsoft pulled the flawed patches from Windows Update and advised users to uninstall them. you need to uninstall four security patches that were installed (automatically or manually) on or after August 2, 2014. All Windows security patches have the prefix “KB” followed by a number. The four numbers you are looking for are: 2982791, 2970228, 2975719, and 2975331. This flaw ONLY affects 64-bit versions of Windows 7 or 8. |

| 1381705 | 2014-08-19 11:24:00 | Nope this prob isn't the same as the BSOD/s with the latest updates. I posted about the BSOD'S in the other forum This system must have been part of some domain. Because it was trying to get updates from 192.168.1.200. That's why windowsupdate didnt work / failed to look for updates at all. It couldn't even check for updates, it didn't get that far I had to go into the registry on this system, and delete the above ip address, and delete what I posted so the administered by system admin message disappeared. So we could change the settings for windowsupdate in control panel (you couldn't before, because it was disabled) |
